So I’ve had a set of Rockmonsters for about 3 years on 35” KM3. I painted mine from day one, those locking nuts never came lose even on painted surfaces. They held air, never had any air leaks. I just received a set of 38x13.5x17 Trail Grapplers from Northridge along with these exact Apex air valves. I think I will position the beadlock/split wheel studs so one of the three longer ones is right next to the air valve. I’m assuming that the Apex valve will not flex like a regular rubber valve if drug along a rock. The Apex look like they stick out quite a bit so hopefully the longer stud will offer some protection.

That is a good idea. The Apex valves are a little vulnerable on the Hutchinson Rock Monsters.

Yes, they do and they do it well. They are very stiff and hold the both the inner and outer beads tight. Hutchinson has been doing wheels like these for many years, not only for the recreational crowd, but also commercial and military too.

The instructions from Hutchinson do not call for grease on the o-ring. I assembled mine dry with no issues. I don't know if I like the idea of a greasy o-ring collecting dust and dirt in a field repair.

Correct you do not need to use any sort of lube on the O-ring. We do it to make sure the o-ring stays in the groove as the wheel halves are going together and to make the o-ring easy to remove if we do need to disassemble the wheel.

Yes, on our Sport model we have some rubbing at full lock on the lower controls arms. You can fix it with a set of spacers or a wider axle. The Rubicon and Maxx Tow axles are 2" wider, so you'd have no problem if you have either of those.
